RSIPF completed POM training conducted by AFP in Honiara

Assistant Commissioner (AC) National Operation, Ms Evelyn Thugea says, “The

Purpose of the training is to merge all Police Support Units together and provide them the opportunity to work with PRT, AFP front line officers, Australian Defence Force, AFP Fire Brigade and the AFP Tactical Response Group in disorder situations.”

AC Thugea says, “In this context, we enhance the RSIPF capability in terms of training our officers in POM, the skills, tactics and knowledge they learn will be applicable when they go out and execute their duties when we have any disorder situation.”

Ms Thugea says, “The training provides officers the opportunity to know what they expect when real situations arise. The training will boost officers’ confidence to confront issues of disorder.”

She says, “I would like to acknowledge AFP Specialist Tactical Group for the support rendered to our officers for this successful training. It is good training to refresh our officers and should there be any situation arise we know exactly what to do.”
